All cities need to be razed to the ground and everyone who enjoys living in the city culled.

actually been there irl such cases so long, suckers

>>22893 It depends. If it's just a business district, it can be utterly soulless. If it's as concentrated as west Shinjuku, it has its own soul. Cities like Frankfurt that don't have too many skyscrapers don't get there, but you find soulful parts usually in walking distance. In US cities I never felt the soulfulness of East Asian skyscrapers, but also there, soulful parts were usually not far away. I don't recognise the city you're showing, but I don't like how the skyscrapers are spread out. This makes everything feel neither like Shinjuku, nor a traditional city. Where is that? >>22894 >>>/kohl/

>>22895 Isn't Minsk a modern city with such a cityscape? >>22897 Don't know, I just searched for a random German modern cityscape and chose that pic.

Dystopian Cyperpunk but then we live in a dystopian cyberpunk world.

It's the form that develops when you start stacking more people than there is space, so it's probably the logical conclusion or equilibrium of all parameters to be able to do so increasingly better.

The problem with cities is that what makes cities important aren't cities themselves. People don't migrate to cities because of the cities, they migrate to cities because they're looking for jobs. Cities have to deal with a political, social, and economic force, that they don't control themselves. Job market and job laws are created and managed on a national level, but their effects are local, on city level. In premodern cities a big chunk of the inhabitants were small merchants and business owners, few were employed because you needed personal trust to employ or be employed, since there were no labor laws (or very little). Then the nation-state and the welfare state created job laws that allowed a big chunk of the population to be employed by a few companies. This reflects in the city's geography because the large majority of inhabitants today are employees. Cities today are different from traditional cities. The importance of commuting is much bigger.

Damn, I love iron and glass towers frying pedestrians on the street. Meanwhile there is a housing shortage and 15 indians living in a single apartment room.

>>22941 I seriously don’t get it, why do those Indians even come to Europe? They would have a much better life at home.

>>22972 Don't know if it's the case for Indians, but sending half a European salary to a poorer country goes a long way. Even if your life is worse, people might endure it if it means they can feed their parents and siblings at home.

I really learned to love liminal spaces. Endless outdoor evelevated or subterranean walksways at night that are usually busy in the day but are now empty

They're not just inhumane, cities also actively destroy the environment like little else.

>>22973 It's not like Indians live in huts and starve to death

Most North American cities are inhumane and soulless. There is such an emphasis on cars and spaces to park cars that 'nature' is reduced to rats and pigeons.

New York has sovl, most other US cities don't. In Germany, Frankfurt is kind of a special case no? As in, it's not the skyscrapers that make it a shithole.

I like them in Moscow. Also I like old American cityscapes.

>>23052 It’s the same in Europe, cars everywhere

They're not a bad thing per se. But to me, it becomes problematic when cityscapes turn into total concrete jungles because there's no nature to balance it out.

>>23052 >'nature' is reduced to rats and pigeons as if one needs more

I neither like cities because of the noise and crowds nor small villages because of the lack of anonymity. Small towns in proximity to our lakes and forests are the best for me.

95% of the population needs to be killed off.

>>23317 Then why don't you go ahead? Be the change you want to see.

>>23316 I've lived everywhere from big cities to so rural there's not even a village. Outskirts of a city seems best. You're away from noise and anything particularly obnoxious, but you can still reach the city easily if something's happening there. Rural life is terrible and I'm not sure why the internet lusts for it so much. I can only assume some combination of that it feels like something trad plus no actual experience living like that.

>>23318 >Be the change you want to see. Suicide means giving in. But I'll gladly start with you if you are interested.

>>23323 Big talk from a very small boy, otherwise you wouldn't spout such crap. t. is by every conceivable metric part of the 5% cohort

>>23328 Obviously being in the top 5% in terms of intelligence isn't one of those metrics given that it's impossible to be in part of every conceivable cohort as many cohorts exclude other cohorts.

>>23323 I thought Cold Steel the Hedgehedge posting went out of fashion years ago.

>>23328 >Big talk from a very small boy, otherwise you wouldn't spout such crap. I'd gladly spout that crap in your fearful face as I tear open your throat.

get

>>23332 Even more impotent rambling in your breddy enclosed and shriveled mindscape. What does it give you, talking to a stranger online like this? Do you think it will contribute to a small, insignificant community of social rejects? Do you belong to us outcasts yourself and simply fail to aim your frustrations to more productive efforts, so you fire away at your peers? Will you complain about the demise of small fringe communities later on? Cry about some trad and based world that you only know by hearsay? Even if such worlds would be real, what use could they possibly have for you then? Again you'd stand at outside and continue ramble >95% of you must die! Yet deep down you are well aware who isn't actually needed by anyone at anytime or anyplace. On the other hand, as long as you barf your bs on the Gaycee, at least other people are cherished by your non-proximity. So keep going, king. Either here or there, somewhere your inexistance shines.

>>23337 >What does it give you, talking to a stranger online like this? Expressing my contempt for this world.

>>23337 >Do you think it will contribute to a small, insignificant community of social rejects? Ask yourself that question before asking it to others. >Do you belong to us outcasts yourself and simply fail to aim your frustrations to more productive efforts, so you fire away at your peers? You are not my peer. >Will you complain about the demise of small fringe communities later on? No. >Cry about some trad and based world that you only know by hearsay? No. >Even if such worlds would be real, what use could they possibly have for you then? See above. >Yet deep down you are well aware who isn't actually needed by anyone at anytime or anyplace. We all are both needed and utterly pointless at the same time. That's what broke me. >So keep going, king. Meme-overdose. >Either here or there, somewhere your inexistance shines. You don't get anything.

I think cities are bad at its core. The human mind is very much still on its caveman and tribal settings. Walking past hundreds if not thousands of people every day is very unnatural and makes you care less for other people since your brain needs to anonymise them and turn them into faceless nobobdies to process it. This is the foundation of a low trust society. I think they're fine as places to VISIT, just not a good place to LIVE in. I love visiting Tokyo for example but I don't think anyoe should live there.

>>23344 So you say that you solely post here to shit on Börnd?! You know that's kinda mean?

>>23349 > Walking past hundreds if not thousands of people every day is very unnatural and makes you care less for other people since your brain needs to anonymise them You're right, but it's so much worse than that. Our minds weren't built to understand video images and distinguish them from reality. All monitors/screens we watch with images of people are 24/7 confusing our brains we're seeing real people. That chick you just wanked too? Your brain believed it was real. Imagine all the photos and videos we watch per day, inundating our brains with fake interactions of human beings that aren't really there. No one understands the seriousness of this.

>>23372 >No one understands the seriousness of this. Please elaborate.

>>23349 I really like how the Tokyo metropolitan government building looks like a European Cathedral. High appreciation for European civilisation and civics. >>>22894 Most greater Tokyo people live in mid rise housing, or indeed even two story houses, small LDK apartments as well, that are basically 20m2 motel room tier, but only 2-3 floors high blocks. It's not like Korea where the build retardedly highrises on the edge of a city but not so much in the centre. Japanese mid-high rises generally cluster around train stations. Also in much of greater kanto metropolis you are near patches rice fields or small nature filled parks at the very least. Japanese suburbs basically follow the train stations. So sometimes you get random patches of unbuilt farmland between two suburban train station

>>23400 Our brains are complex things built to react and process the environment through chemical/hormone reactions, plus all kinds of mental subconscious processes. When we see a person, an attractive female, a lion, a tall height from which we could fall, a friendly interaction, a possible competitor, an enemy. On and on. These processes are constantly being triggered by modern technology (video/audio devices). At the best case scenario this creates a huge numbing effect and at worst makes our brain/minds literally schizophrenic compared to our ancestors without access to this 24/7 simulation technology. It's even deeper than that but I'll stop.
